From The Irish Times, 9 November 1922 - FIGHT NEAR MACROOM. A successful action by national forces against a large concentration of Republicans is reported from Carriganimmy, between Macroom and Millstreet. On Monday an armoured car left Macroom for Millstreet. On the return journey the road was found to be blocked, and an officer sent a wireless message to Macroom, from which soldiers were despatched in the direction of Millstreet. They found that the Republicans, who are believed to have been under command of Sean Moylan, M.P., were encamped in strong positions. Both sections of the national Army arrived at Carriganimmy about the same time and engaged the Republicans. After two hours' fighting the Republicans retreated across country. They were pursued for some distance and scattered. Their exact loses are unknown, but it is believed that they were heavy. On the other hand, the national troops had one casualty--Captain McDermott, wounded. Yesterday afternoon, shortly after two o'clock, the Coburg street branch of the Provincial Bank, Cork, was raided by armed men, who got away with a considerable sum of money. The barracks at Glanmire, near Cork, was attacked from three points on Tuesday night. The troops replied to the fire of the Republicans, who retreated after an exchange of shots. During the attack a girl was wounded, but only very slightly. The garrison suffered no casualties. The telegraph wires between Killeagh and Youghal having been cut on Tuesday night, the 9 o'clock morning train from Youghal arrived in Cork considerably over an hour late. The wires between Fermoy and Cork were also cut on Tuesday night, with the result that there was yesterday no telegraphic or telephonic communication with Fermoy. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
